I guess Orson Welles wasn't the only actor to hawk cheap wine to pay the bills. Yikes!

I wish someone would give me a big pile of money to drive around in an SUV and mumble.

This is nothing to be embarrassed about compared to his (and the rest of the cast’s) “Heaven Can Wait” performance.

“What’s the price?”

“30 twice”

Have seen this before. It really is gut busting funny, equal to or better than any of the SNL parody commercials, especially since it was done in all seriousness. Mr. Mason must have been extremely hard up for money (alimony settlement?) vis the “I can’t believe I’ve sunk this low” expression on his face. There are echoes in Welles’ Gallo commercials and Bill Murray’s Japanese whiskey commercial gig in “Lost in Translation”.

“Thunderbird are *hic* go !”

(sincerest apologies to the late Mr. Mason)

This fine wine was especially enjoyed down by the diesel pump on the fishing boat dock back in the 60s.

Thunderbird,
Really nice!
What's the price?
Fifty twice!

For my money nothing beats a sloshed Orson Welles beginning his line with

"Muuaaahhhhh the Freeehhhhhnch..."

I say it and laugh to myself in the car, and my 3 year old pickerd it up and now goes around saying it. It's a big hit in her daycare.

The great thing about Thunderbird is that not only can you drink it, but you can use it to remove enamel paint, clean grease off engine parts, and eradicate swimming pool algae. You can spray it on your tree and watch those aphids fall off the leaves screaming in little smoking death spirals. Toenail fungus? Not a problem. Topical application to treat anal warts. This stuff is dynamite!

Most definitely. Orson was in a league of his own in that one, LOL!
